Hi, I’m Clay. Texan by birth, Hoosier by heritage, Chicagoan by residence. 🏳️🌈
I spend my time editing roads, public transit routes, and railroads in the United States and Canada. I help moderate the US Subcategory of the community forum, and I’m on the maintainer team of OpenStreetMap Americana.
I’ve worked for WattTime, Global Energy Monitor (GEM) and Wonder, and my edits for them are under the accounts clay_c@watttime, clay_c@gem and clay_c@wonder, respectively.
Always happy to help; send me a message! You can also find me on the OSM-US Slack: join here.
